Sorry for the confusion, but I fixed this chapter so it really is just chapter 15!

Lorelai was a mix of emotions when she reached the jeep. Most there was hurt, but there was anger, shock, confusion and sadness all mixed in. How could Luke do this to her? After everything that had happened between them, she had been sure that this was it for her. He'd given her his mother's ring, she was pregnant with his baby.

As Lorelai parked the jeep and opened the door, the sudden realization of what was happening hit her.

Luke was cheating on her.

She had another failed engagement, another failed relationship.

She was pregnant again, and she wasn't going to marry the father.

Except this time she wanted to.

Weak in the knees, Lorelai crumpled to the ground and began to sob, burying her face in her hands. She couldn't remember the last time she had cried as she was crying now, and she didn't even hear Luke's truck pull up, didn't notice that he was there until he came up behind her and tried to put his arms around her.

Lorelai pushed herself away from him. "Don't touch me!" she screamed. "I trusted you! I loved you! I can't do this with someone who can't be faithful."

Luke watched in horror as she took off her engagement ring and handed it to him. "I'm going back to work," she said, looking at her shoes. "I want all your stuff to be gone by the time I get home."

"Lorelai…" Luke started. He wanted to tell her what had happened, but he knew that she was too upset. He should go with whatever she wanted right now and try to reason with her later. He closed his fist around the ring and stood in front of her.

"I don't want to see you, Luke," Lorelai said. "Please get out of my way."

"What about the baby?" Luke asked, knowing that it was the only real right he had to be with her right now.

"I'll call you when I get home from the hospital," Lorelai said. "Sookie can bring it to the diner for you to see."

Luke stared at her. "Lorelai, you can't do that," he said.

"I did it before and I can do it again," Lorelai replied.

"What about me?" Luke cried. "Don't you think this baby needs a father?"

"Rory turned out pretty well, didn't need Christopher too much," Lorelai replied.

"But he didn't want to be around," Luke said in one last desperate attempt to get her to listen.

"At least he didn't lie about it," Lorelai said. "He didn't want to be with us, but he told us instead of cheating."

"Lorelai…" Luke stood watching her as she got into her jeep and backed out of the driveway. He sighed and looked down into his hand where her engagement ring was digging into his palm, his fist having been closed so tightly around it.

Suddenly, he realized the intensity of what was happening. Lorelai was tough, but when she got hurt she didn't forgive easily. He didn't know what he could do to prove to her that nothing had happened.

He wasn't leaving, that was for sure. Even if she didn't let him in the house, he'd sleep in the yard. He'd camped enough to feel comfortable sleeping under the stars.

Luke staggered over to the porch steps and sat down, resting his head on his hands and letting the tears come.

Lorelai was a mess when she returned to the Dragonfly. She turned off the jeep and got out, walking slowly towards the porch. Sookie flung the door open and demanded, "Lorelai, where were you? You just disappeared and I…" her voice trailed off when she saw Lorelai's tear stained face.

"I went to Luke's," Lorelai said softly, sitting down on the steps. "And the door was locked, which was weird, but I knew where the spare key was, so I used it because I thought that maybe someone was sick and I went upstairs."

Sookie held her breath knowing that Lorelai had walked in on Luke and Rory's meeting with the wedding planner. But why was she so upset?

"And he was kissing another woman."

"Lorelai, I know….WHAT?" Sookie stared at Lorelai, wondering if she'd heard her right.

"Some blond," Lorelai said miserably. "Younger than me, not pregnant. God, I don't know how this is happening. I was so convinced that he was different."

"Did he see you?" Sookie asked gently.

"He chased me back to my house," Lorelai said. "Tried to talk to me, but I didn't want to hear it. I gave him the ring back, told him I wanted him out of my house before I got home. And I said that I didn't want my baby to be around him."

"Lorelai," Sookie said softly. "Don't you think that's a little harsh, honey? Without giving him a chance to explain?"

"So what, he could tell me, he didn't kiss her, she kissed him?" Lorelai asked. "That doesn't matter. He let her kiss him. God, I don't even know who she is."

"I know who she is," Sookie said quietly.

"What?" Lorelai asked. She looked at Sookie, who was messing with her hands nervously. "Sookie, what's going on?"

"Well…it was Rory's idea," Sookie said. "She wanted to do something nice for you, surprise you. And she talked to me, and of course I loved the idea, but Luke didn't like the idea at first. She said she had to do a little convincing but he eventually agreed because he thought it would be better for you and the baby to have as little stress as possible."

"Sookie, what in the world are you talking about?" Lorelai asked.

"We were planning your wedding," Sookie said gently.

Lorelai stared at her. "What?"

"Rory came over with this…scrapbook that had plans you made for your weddings on her tenth birthday," Sookie said. "And that woman…she was the wedding planner that Rory and I hired. Lorelai, I'm sorry."

Lorelai buried her face in her hands. She was silent for a long moment, then said, "Thank you."

"What?" Sookie asked.

"Even if I don't have Luke anymore, it feels great to know that I have you and Rory," Lorelai whispered. "And it means a lot to me that you thought about me enough to know what I would want for my wedding."

"Lorelai, Luke loves you," Sookie said gently. "I don't know what happened, why Rory left or why the wedding planner was kissing him, but he's going to be distraught if he loses you. His baby too. Even though the baby's inside of you, it's still a part of Luke's."

Lorelai thought for a moment as she stroked a hand over her belly. "You're right," she said softly. She took a deep breath, then stood up. "I think I need to go talk to him."

Sookie stood as well and gave Lorelai a tight squeeze. "Good luck, sweetie," she said softly.

"Thanks," Lorelai said. She walked back to her jeep, and Sookie watched as she pulled out of the driveway.

Sookie rushed into the inn and dialed Rory's cell phone number. She hopped from one foot to the other, impatiently waiting for her to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Rory, we have a major problem," Sookie exclaimed.

"Sookie? What's wrong?" Rory asked, alarmed that something had happened to Lorelai or Luke, or some other beloved Stars Hollow citizen.

Sookie explained what Lorelai had just told her, wishing that she hadn't agreed to such a risky plan. "And she just left, she's probably there by now," she finished.

Rory had already turned around and was almost back to Stars Hollow. "I'm on my way over," she said. "I'll see what the damage is."

"Do you know what you're going to do?" Sookie asked.

"No, but I'm sure I'll figure something out," Rory replied.

"All right, good luck, honey," Sookie said. "Let me know what happens."

"Thanks," Rory said. "I will." She hung up the phone and concentrated on getting to Stars Hollow as quickly as possible.

Before Lorelai went back to the house, she decided to go to the diner and see if the scrapbook she and Rory had made was still there. When she saw that Luke's truck wasn't parked out front, she opened the door to the diner and made her way up to the apartment. Sitting on the table, next to Luke's beer, was the open scrapbook and the notes that Rory had been making.

"Oh, Luke," Lorelai sighed, looking at the ceiling as she gathered the book in her arms. "How could you do this to me?"

With a sigh, she walked over to the couch, lay down and cried.

Luke was still sitting on Lorelai's front porch an hour later, waiting for her to come home. She'd been gone a lot longer than he thought and she should have been home by now. Maybe she was at Sookie's. He decided to go inside and try calling her.

As he stood, Luke saw Rory's car pull up the driveway. She got out of the car and walked over to him, sitting down on the porch. "Are you here to make sure I'm gone?" Luke asked, looking down at her.

"No," Rory said, shaking her head. "I'm here because I want to know what happened."

Luke shook his head as he sat down next to her. "I didn't kiss her," he said. "She kissed me, but Lorelai won't listen to me."

"I bet she just needs time to cool off," Rory said.

"But she broke off the engagement," Luke said. "She doesn't want me to be involved in the baby's life."

"Luke," Rory said softly. "You know Mom. She gets upset, she says things that she doesn't mean."

Luke held out his hand and showed Rory the engagement ring. Rory gasped, then shook her head.

"It's may fault," she said softly. "I'm so sorry Luke, but I'm going to do everything I can to make this better."

"It's not your fault," Luke said, shaking his head. "You were just trying to do something nice for her."

"Yes, it is my fault," Rory said. "I just…I wanted Mom to have a dream wedding. And I wanted her to be able to have it before the baby was born so she could concentrate on the wedding without any distractions."

Luke nodded. "I get it," he said. "I just…I hope she'll come around," he said softly.

Rory put a hand on Luke's shoulder. "She was miserable without you, Luke," she said. "I've never seen her cry so hard in my entire life. She loves you, and she'll realize that she needs you."

Before Luke could respond, Lorelai's jeep pulled up and she got out of the car. Rory stood, Luke standing a moment after she did and shoving his hands in his pockets.

Lorelai walked towards Rory and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for thinking of me," she said softly. "I love you."

Rory hugged her mother back. "I love you too," she replied. "And remember that you love Luke."

Lorelai pulled back and handed Rory the scrapbook. "Take care of this for me, okay?" she said.

Rory nodded and walked up the porch steps into the house. Lorelai took a few steps closer to Luke and met his gaze, now knowing what she needed to say to him.
